Lovellette's Career Scoring Average Tops
By DON PIERCE K.U. Sports Publicity Director
With only two games remaining in his junior season, Clyde Lovellette, K.U.'s scoring colossus, continues to maintain a point bulge over other Redwoods of basketball's modern age of giants.
The 6-foot 9-inch 235-pound Terre Haute Terror grabbed a quick lead in this unofficial tabulation as a sophomore last season when he closed a 25-game route with a 21.8 average, higher than such Second Story aces as George Mikan or Bob Kurland were able to compile during their hitches at DePaul and Oklahoma A. and M. respectively.
games for a 227.183 average.
His two-year scoring rampage now totals 1021 points, thus marking him as the second man in Mt. Oread history to break the one grand ceiling during his Jayhawk career. He needs 62 more digits to break the all-time K.U. record of 1082 established by Charlie "The Hawk" Black, two-time All American of the 1940's.
No one quite expected Lovellette to maintain the smoking pace he established in his initial college season. Yet, he went into Monday's battle against Colorado with 476 points through his first 21 games for a 22.7 1951 average.
(Editor's note: Statistics included are through the Kansas-Kansas State game played at Manhattan on Feb. 24. This was Lovellette's 21st game of the 1950-51 season and his 46th game as a K.U. player.)
Lovellette has played only 46 games to attain this peak, thus forging a two season average of 22.2. This is 2.9 points per game higher than the 19.3 of his stoutest contemporary, the 7-foot Bill Spivey of Kentucky, and 3.2 points ahead of Mikan's collegiate career mean of 19.0 points a game.
Here is a comparison of the modern big boys of the game, none of which stood less than 6-feet 7-inches during their college days:

DON COOPER, Nebraska's outstanding pole vaulter, is expected to break the indoor conference vaulting mark of 13 feet $11 \frac{1}{8} $ inches set by Oklahoma's Bill Carroll in 1950 in the annual Big Seven indoor conference meet to be held in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium Friday and Saturday.
Cooper has bettered the 14-foot mark in every outing this season and recently vaulted 14 feet $ _{57} / \mathrm{s} $ inches in a dual meet with K-State for one of the nation's best marks this season.
CCNY Cancels Schedule As 10th Player Is 'Caught'
New York, Feb. 28 (U.P.)—The arrest of a 10th basketball player on charges of "throwing" games spurred detectives today in their search for the head man of a brand-new bribery ring.
District Attorney Frank Hogan, making arrests at almost a one-a-day clip in his drive to clean up the sports scandal, last night added Floyd Layne of City College of New York to his "catch" of players who took bribe money.
Even while Layne was making his damaging admissions in Hogan's office, stunned C.C.N.Y. called off the rest of its basketball season—a move made last week by Long Island university when that school was rocked by the arrest of four (now five) of its players on bribery charges.
Layne, a six - foot, three - inch speedster, turned over to the D.A.'s men $2.890 for the $3.000 he confessed taking as his share for throwing games against Missouri, Arizona, and Boston college.

While Hogan said Layne was involved with the ring already dis-

for the 1953 season. Originally scheduled for Tuesday, the game was rescheduled because of an oversight in scheduling and player injuries that hampered the teams involved.
covered, he stressed that his men were working hard to uncover still another ring they are sure exist*
Hogan based his belief in a new ring on the arrest of L.I.U. player Nathan Miller Monday night. He said the money paid to Miller for "dumping" two games played in 1948 came from a different "fixer."

The A.P. Basketball Ratings
But, while Hogan switched his fire to another ring, U.S. secret service agents admitted they are taking an interest in gold deals made by Sollazzo, the 45-year-old former convict accused of giving bribes to C.C.N.Y. players Layne, Ed Warner, Ed Roman, and Al Roth, and LIU. players Sherman White, LeRoy Smith, Adolph Bigos, and Eddie Gard.
The arrest of Layne was an especially stunning one for the sports world, which had thought the C.C.N.Y. expose complete. The games for which Layne admitted receiving bribe money were the same ones that Warner, Roman, and Roth had been accused of "dumping."
C. C.N.Y. Coach Nat Holman, nicknamed "Mr. Basketball," already was bowed down with the shock of the first three arrests, the illness of his wife requiring an operation yesterday, and the cancellation of the basketball season when news of the Layne arrest struck him again.
